Climate and Sustainability
At SRI, we’ve been tackling challenges in climate and sustainability for decades. With the addition of the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) we’re even better positioned to take on one of this century’s defining challenges. Our goal: to improve the health of the Earth and the well-being of all of us who call it home.
